HARMAND (Nicolas-François, Baron d'ABANCOURT) 1746 - 1821 - Député du tiers aux États-Généraux par le Bailliage de CHATEAU-THIERRY (02) 1789, Préfet de la Mayenne - L.A.S. PARIS Sept 7, 1816 - Très belle Lettre politique à LEMERCIER - 3pp gd in-8° - "... The Chamber of Deputies has been dissolved, and the electoral colleges are about to be convened. This is a universal joy for the true friends of the King and the Fatherland, for obviously the Chamber, by continuing its disastrous projects... would have thrown us into a more disastrous crisis than those we have experienced for 25 years. We are assured that this vigorous measure, which was perhaps difficult to adopt under the circumstances, will meet with the assent of the young Princes, or will it reattach to the King all the parties, even those who were the most distant. There is no question of having a Chamber that is not composed of the same elements, and instead of being the enemy of the Nation, represents its wishes, opinions, needs and feelings...."
